Detroit jumped to a 67-58 half time lead as rookie Jimmy Walker hit 12 of his 14 points in the sec- ond quarter. Near the end of the third quar- ter, Boston player-coach Bill Rus- sell and forward Tom Sanders each drew their fifth personal foul. Both players, along with Bailey Howell of Boston, eventually fouled out. Bing led Detroit with 24 points and DeBusschere added 23. Sam Jones had 18 for Boston. Bing and the rest of the Piston team will travel to Boston in high hopes of keeping up the momen- tum which shoved them ahead at the end of last night's game, and which lifted them into the fourth and final playoff spot at the end of the regular season. They got that spot by beating the Chicago Bulls in do-or-die game in which the winner had the right to the playoff position. The two teams meet again to- morrow in Boston. * * * * * * Reed Sets Gym Playoff Spot; Loken Calls Up) Replacemecnt .1 I : ABA Standings Final Standings Eastern Division 11 DRIVERS TO WISCONSIN FOR MCARTHY If you are driving with a full cor or W L r Pittsburgh 54 24 Minnesota 50 28 Indiana 38 40 New Jersey 36 42 Kentucky 36 42 Western Division New Orleans 48 30 Dallas 46 32 Denver 45 33 Houston 29 49 Anaheim 25 53 Oakland 22 56 Pct. .692 .641 .487 .462 .462 .615 .590 .577 .372 .321 .282 Be- hind 4 16 18 18 2 3 19 23 26 By ANDY BARBAS "We fully expect Michigan State to attend the gymnastics play- off," announced Big Ten Commis- sioner Bill Reed yesteday.

MSU Boycott When a playoff was proposed, Michigan State threatened to boycott, saying it already had qualified for national tournament. Michigan's Coach Newt Loken announced t h a t sidehorseman Mike Carpenter decied to quit athletic competition "for personal reasons." Carpenter had competed with all-around Sid Jensen for the number two spot in the sidehorse. As a replacement, Loken has called on the services of senior Dave Geddes. He didn't feel that the change would hurt the team. "Mike never achieved the scores he showed in the beginning of the season," noted Loken, "The reason Geddes didn't compete this 'year was that he was a senior and felt that sophomore Carpen- ter could score as well as he could." Loken further observed, "Since Geddes began working out, he has looked very good. He should be able to score as well as Carpenter, and I wouldn't be surprised if he scores better than Carpenter has."'

He was voted the outstanding player in the NCAA championships which ended Saturday also the Southern player-of-the-year. At the meeting of the South- ern California Basketball Writers, where the latter honor was an- nounced, Coach Bill Van Breda Kolff of the Los Angeles Lakers was asked what he thought of Al- cindor. "That boy is frightening," he replied. "I think each team in the National Basketball Association should put up $10,000 and buy him a little villa at Mallorca (Calif.) and let Lew live there year after year. That is, unless we finish last next season." Alcindor has a year of eligibil- ity remaining at UCLA and under draft rules of the NBA, the team finishing last has the first draft pick. Lew scored an average of 26.2 points and 16.4 rebounds per game in leading UCLA to a 29-1 record. In the tournament windup where the Bruins beat Houston and North Carolina, Alcindor hit for 53 points and grabbed 34 re- bounds.
